A SpaceXFalcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 22, 2017. To the disappointment of UFO enthusiasts, the object was not an extraterrestrial coming to visit. People as far away as Los Angeles and beyond stopped to see the rocket launch into the sky.

It was the Falcon 9 booster which took off from coastal Vandenberg Air Force Base carrying the latest batch of satellites for the US company Iridium Communications.

Calls came into TV stations as far afield as San Diego, more than 200 miles south of the launch site.

The launch was flawless, and the rocket carried 10 satellites from Iridium Communications into low-Earth orbit.

"This was the fourth set of 10 satellites in a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium's next-generation global satellite constellation, Iridium NEXT", the statement continued". The array will also include the Aireon aircraft tracking and surveillance system.
